1. Introduction
This policy explains how PitchPunter ("we", "us") handles personal data when you visit our website. We aim to collect as little information as possible and to treat it in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. Who is responsible
The data controller for this website is [Company Name], [Registered Address]. You can contact us about privacy at [email protected].
3. What we collect
- Technical data: when you visit, our hosting provider may automatically log your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view and the time of your visit.
- Referral data: when you click an operator link, a tracking reference is passed to that operator so the visit can be attributed to us. This reference does not include your name or contact details.
- Messages: if you email us, we keep your email address and the content of your message so we can reply.
We do not ask for, and do not knowingly collect, payment details or special category data.
4. Why we use it
- to run, secure and improve the website (our legitimate interests);
- to record referrals to operators so we can be paid under our affiliate agreements (our legitimate interests);
- to answer your enquiries (our legitimate interests);
- to meet our legal obligations.
5. Cookies
This website itself uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Operators you visit through our links may set their own cookies to track referrals; their use is covered by the operator's own cookie and privacy policies. If we add analytics or other non-essential cookies in future, we will ask for your consent first.
6. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us run the site (such as our hosting provider), with operators to the limited extent described above, or where the law requires it.
7. International transfers
If any provider processes data outside the UK, we make sure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual clauses.
8. How long we keep it
Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes. Emails are kept only as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, unless we must keep them longer for legal reasons.
9. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, restrict or object to how we use it, and receive a copy in a portable format. To make a request, email [email protected]. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
10. Children
This website is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
